Overview

Nomad crossings, rose valleys and two-tone kasbahs: even on paper, the Dad猫s Valley stretches the imagination. From the daunting High Atlas to the north to the rugged Jebel Saghro range south, the valley is dotted with oases and mudbrick palaces that give the region its fairy-tale nickname 鈥� Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs. Some of the best views are only glimpsed when travelling on foot, along hidden livestock tracks between the Dad猫s and Todra Gorges and nomad routes across the Saghro.
